An extreme but interesting sample development lead to spectacular results.

Photo before development

The above picture could not be taken from another angle and considering time constraints, I thought that this shot was better than no shot at all. Not a good picture but a nice sample to test some of Lightroom’s power, namely when it comes to Lens Correction.

Detail selection of the picture

Note that the picture contains some interesting detail, such as the thin net in front of the scaffolding which results in an apparent lack of punch.

Using the transform tools, distortion, vertical and horizontal, as well as a slight rotation we get the following view:

After first Transformation

We notice that the image is “stretched” too wide compared to the original proportions. We therefore apply a shot of Warping:

The Picture after Transformation

Now we just need to sharpen the image which will also get rid of the thin net hanging in front of the scaffolding:

Final result

While the above sample is is a pure exaggeration, it shows nevertheless some of the power of Lightroom 4.

The YORGOO-Ycademy calls of this week will deal with Lightroom and show, how to use Lightroom 4 for efficient Photo (and Video) management, editing and publishing.

The new Map feature allows to position images on the (Google) map and to add thus GPS data to the image files. This is namely useful if your camera does not add GPS data automatically, or if you don’t run the GPS feature on your cam to save power.

Lightroom 4 Map

On the above screenshot you see that I have pined 17 pictures to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. You also can save locations for re-use.

The Book feature, also accessible easily from the top right menu includes a book layout editor with hundreds of possibilities to style a digital or printed book. The feature connects directly to Blurb.com to upload your work and order a printed version. Alternatively a PDF version can be saved to the computer.

Lightroom 4 Book

The Development module features new improved local and global presets for better image editing.

Lightroom Presets 2012

Hopefully this is just the beginning! The clip editor allows for correcting toning, exposure and the use of many other presets. Also you can cut frames or take screenshots of individual frames (to pull a photo from the clip).

Opening my Safari browser a few minutes ago just made my heart stop for a few moments: there he was, one of the true visionaries and movers of our digital era, a man who has transformed the way we communicate on the mobile web and this with incredible style, efficiency, functionality…and financial success: Steve Jobs, looking straight at me through his fine-rimmed glasses in clean, elegant black and white Apple-style. Even before I saw the dates: 1955 to 2011… I knew the Apple legend had passed to the next level:
Good bye Steve Jobs.

Good bye Steve Jobs

Once again, Steve Jobs grabbed our attention and all the world is watching!

In my case here in Noordhoek at the tip of South Africa – full-screen on the highest valued real estate in the world! Again he demonstrated that with being on the Internet and having joined the virtual reality there is no escape; here we are all one. At least here it becomes blatantly visible… which all has both sides, good and bad and it certainly accelerates our evolution at an incredible pace. It often made me ponder as to how all this connected to our spiralling and accelerating path towards a higher consciousness… as I have no doubt that we too are on a transformational journey. Comparing the terminology both environments are using – the spiritual and the digital – is revelatory alone…

Is this too a look into the future?

Strangely enough – this picture has no finality to me…

There’s much more to come – but for the moment and leaving the real laudatio to the big boyz, I just say “Thank you” as I too have learned a lot…and : Good bye Steve Jobs!

The Jordan 4 Retro is one of the most iconic sneakers in the Jordan Brand, as all you sneakerheads know that this is a worshiped colourway and is one of the hardest sneakers to get hold of with its debut release back in 1989 (Which was before some of us were born). Well now you can step up your sneaker game by a few levels with this beauty. Make sure you get down to Global London as quick as possible before we are sold out.

As projected in yesterday’s post, we researched and executed further ideas for an Apple Touch Icon for Psychic Readings Online, here the Greek Psi representing Psychic Readings Online by Delia O’Riordan.

Apple Touch Icon for Psychic Readings Online

Besides taking the Branding elements – like fonts and/or colors, logos and patterns – of the website in question into account, the crucial issue is: how does a brilliant looking image show on the high resolution screen of an iPhone 4?

How to create an Apple Touch Icon

These images are by far not the first; in fact, each mobile web development within the Semiomantics Web Design framework teaches a significant lesson and reveals more of the crucial factors to consider when developing an icon – like here the Apple Touch Icon for Psychic Readings Online.

So how to create an Apple Touch Icon?

As a matter of principle, I create my Apple T0uch Icons on 520 x 520 px, transparent, 16 bit with a resolution 300. While the above sizes are reduced for this article, it is essential to create a version 114 x 114 px and 57 x 57 px as you see here:

How the above icons show on the mobile phone remains to be seen. I’ll be back with screenshots!

Meanwhile, enjoy some screenshots of Psychic Readings Online on the iPhone 4 – see int he sidebar to your right!

With sales via the mobile web increasing exponentially, we also looked at Psychic Readings Mobile within the new website development for Psychic Delia in the WordPress based Semiomantics XO framework.
Here’s a screenshot directly from our Apple iPhone 4 shortly before the finishing touches and subsequent release of the website “Psychic Readings Online“:

Psychic Readings Mobile

The above Psychic Readings Mobile screenshot directly from the iPhone 4 is displayed larger here than it is in reality, but what is amazing is the brilliant display on the iphone 4 retina screen! As the resolution on an iPhone 4 is five times higher than that on a normal PC screen, one can just imagine how sharp everything looks on the iPhone! If you have one, just test it yourself!

Apple Touch Icon for Psychic Readings Online

We are currently testing an Apple Touch Icon for Psychic Readings Online by Delia O’Riordan; I will be back with news and images on this soon.

Global have snapped up a few good looks for the spring season, this photoshoot inroduces a look of both retro casualness and simplicity. The photoshoot shows what will be hot in the next few months, and shows a way that the look can be dropped. As Global are known for introducing new and innovative styles to the streets of London, it may be a good idea to take note and be one step ahead of your mates to always be the one with the meanest swagga. Most of the clothes worn in the photoshoot are available at Global either on our online shop or in-store, so have a look at our new and unique styles and tell us what you think…..

Important design Elements for the Mobile Internet

Last night’s call dealt with important design elements for the mobile internet and how they influence web design in general.

Let’s have a look at some samples:

Design with Contrasts

Not all smart phones and mobile devices have a crystal clear display as the iPhone. Also the increase of luminosity of the screen has it’s price: electricity and therefore battery life. Don’t print gray on gray!

Don’t use Flash

Flash does either not display or produce unsatisfactory results on mobile devices. It is therefore recommended to pair flash with an alternative feature for mobile devices, such as an image or a jQuery driven component or you just get a blank field:

Use crisp Fonts

The better the fonts the more readable the site. At least the zoomed version should be easy to read:

The above sample is not zoomed, below details using the zoom:

Design Accessible Navigation

Not only must the navigation be easy to read, but it must also be easy to click with a finger on a small touch-screen:

The un-zoomed display above allows for easy navigation either from the top menu or from the images which are linked to content.

Note: All above images are screen-shots from the iPhone 4. The resolution on that iPhone is 960 x 640 pixels at 326 ppi. Click on the images to see the original output from the iPhone. For publishing reasons I had to downsize the quality of the images somewhat, however they represent quite well the reality.

Semiomantics XO is Mobile

The Semiomantics XO Theme for WordPress is designed for mobile devices since 2009. The site holds in vertical display without sideways scrolling and the built in image slider displays on mobile devices!

Vouliagmeni with iPhone 4 HDR

When Apple upgraded the photo software on the iPhone 4, the quality of images improved dramatically, namely under low light conditions. In fact, the 5MP built in camera comes now with a HDR feature which you can switch on or off. Also, you can set the camera to save two shots, one with standard settings and one with the High Dynamic Range option.

Note just that the saving process takes much longer, in my case about 2 seconds.

Vouliagmeni Bay on November 18, 2010

The Dynamic Range of the second shot is way beyond what we get on the first image. What may not be visible here is the actual noise and pixelization as I had to reduce the jpg quality for the blog.

PS: The image in the header has been edited;  slight desaturation and pushed noise.
